3CAYG Raw Organic Ivory Shea Butter 5 lb Pail — Unrefined Unscented Bulk for Body, Soap & Hair

3CAYG Raw Organic Ivory Shea Butter in a 5 lb pail is unrefined, ready-to-use shea fat ideal for body butters, hair treatments, and soap-making.

This bulk pail contains unrefined ivory shea butter sourced from African shea kernels and offered by 3CAYG in a convenient, resealable 5-pound container. It arrives in its natural creamy color and texture, unscented and minimally processed so formulators, small-batch makers, and home DIYers can add it directly into skincare, haircare, and bathing bars. Because it’s raw and organic, it blends easily with oils, butters, and actives without altering their performance or scent profile.

How can I use this raw shea butter in my skincare routine?

Use a small amount of raw shea butter as a nightly moisturizer, massage balm, or base for whipped body butter. It softens and conditions skin when blended into products and pairs well with carrier oils and essential oils for customized treatments.

• Add 5–20% to lotions and creams for richer emollience
• Whip with coconut or almond oil for a lighter, spreadable body butter
• Apply a pea-sized amount to dry patches or elbows as an overnight treatment

Is this shea butter suitable for soap making and formulation?

Yes — the 3CAYG raw shea butter is commonly used by soap artisans and formulators. It contributes to hardness, creaminess, and conditioning properties in cold-process and melt-and-pour soaps without introducing synthetic additives.

• Use at 5–30% of total oils in cold-process recipes to boost creaminess
• Melt gently and blend with lye solution or other oils to maintain stability
• Works well with cocoa butter, olive oil, and castor oil for balanced bars

What are practical tips for melting and storing a 5 lb pail?

Warm shea butter slowly to avoid overheating; use low heat or a double boiler. Keep the pail sealed and store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve texture and aroma.

• Gently heat in a double boiler until soft or fully liquid — avoid direct stovetop flames
• Stir thoroughly after melting to ensure uniform texture before pouring or whipping
• Reseal the lid and store below 77°F (25°C) for best consistency; refrigeration can firm it

Who is this product for? Small brands, home formulators, soap makers, hair stylists, and anyone who prefers raw, minimally processed ingredients will find this 5 lb pail of 3CAYG ivory shea butter useful. It’s sized for makers who need a reliable supply for dozens of batches, and its neutral color and scent make it a flexible base for custom formulations. This option suits those who value organic, raw butters and want a cost-effective supply for creating moisturizers, balms, conditioners, and soap at scale.
